Board of Director nominations: Take Two
by Rich Bowen 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hi, folks. Well, this is embarrassing. Due to a mixup in the mailing list moderation queue, we have not received any of your board of director nominations (and at least a few of you have mentioned that you sent one!) and we have to ask you to submit them again. This time, we're going to do this via a Google Form, and hopefully avoid the problem that we had last time. That form is here: https://forms.gle/U777HHDTkKgkg6Sa6 As a reminder, if you're considering nominating someone, have a look at the requirements/recommendations document, at https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/ , where we discuss what's involved in being a director, and who's eligible. Thanks!

CentOS Stream 9 Buildsystem is publicly viewable
by Brian Stinson 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hi Folks, There’s been a lot of CentOS Stream 9 activity over the past few weeks that I’d like to share with you. First, if you haven’t noticed already, Stream 9 package sources are publicly available in GitLab: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms Second, we’ve been leading up to a very important end-of-April milestone. You can now watch package build activity in the Stream 9 build system: https://kojihub.stream.centos.org We started using these sources in the middle of March to complete our bootstrap round. That was followed almost immediately by a mass rebuild on April 12th to set the architecture baselines to POWER 9 and Z14 for the ppc64le and s390x architectures respectively. If you find your favorite package in GitLab, you can visit the ‘Merge Requests’ tab to see how the Fork/Merge Request/Build workflow works. RHEL maintainers have been using this workflow for a few weeks now as part of regular development. We’ll provide more posts this week to explain how to use the same workflow, and work with maintainers who can evaluate your changes. If your changes are merged into CentOS Stream they can directly affect RHEL 9. ## What you can do now - Sign up for a gitlab.com account: https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up - On Fedora install centpkg-0.6.3-1 from the updates/updates-testing repo - On CentOS Stream 8 install centpkg-0.6.3-1 from the epel/epel-testing repo - Pull package sources from gitlab.com - `centpkg clone -b c9s <pkgname>` gives you a dist-git checkout from gitlab - `centpkg sources` from your checkout pulls source tarballs from the lookaside cache - Download and inspect artifacts and logs for builds already in the build system - Use `centpkg mockbuild` to try local builds of your own ## Plans for upcoming work - Updates to the contributor guide which contains important requirements and guidelines for how to submit changes to CentOS Stream via Merge Request - Availability of the Composes (including install media, cloud images, container images) - Announcements later this week describing upcoming milestones, new services, and when we expect to publish to the mirrors Just a reminder: CentOS Stream 9 is still very early. We’re going to make lots of changes together, and we’re quickly bringing up services to support our long-term goal of having CentOS Stream 9 development continuously targeting the next minor release of RHEL. Currently these packages are subject to RHEL gating tests. We’ll be back with more about how that works, and what we’re doing to increase our ability to run tests directly in CentOS Stream too. Cheers! --Brian
